Should Quixtar be shut down?
By QBlog in
I was asked a question this evening that I don't think anyone's ever asked me before. "What do you want to happen to Quixtar?"
That was it. And my answer sort of surprised me. I do not want Quixtar to be shut down. I don't want the business to be dissolved or terminated. I would like to see some changes, but I honestly have no desire to end the Quixtar empire. What I do want is information. I want anyone in the world who sees a plan to be able to get accurate, fair, dependable and timely information about the business. I want volumes and volumes of honest and unbiased reports on every detail of this business and all the peripheral business that thrive off of Quixtar.
Why don't I want Quixtar shut down? Well, shutting down Quixtar (if it were ever possible) would take many, many lawsuits combined with some sort of legislation and active enforcement of existing laws. Maybe that could happen but I doubt it and I'd rather see people make up their own minds about Quixtar instead of having some lawyer or congressman tell them what to think. I believe that a well-informed marketplace is best for everyone. Of course I would also want existing laws enforced.
So, what do you want to happen to Quixtar?
